I am developing an android application for showing the floor map of a building inside google maps. I know there is Google floor plans, but it only available in selected countries. So I need to customize the google map. I am done a little by using the accepted answer in this link. But unfortunately I cant adjust the boundaries of the tiles here, thats not I needed. I only need to show the custom floor map only above the building i need to show, other area should be like the default Google maps. How can I achieve that?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You could use GroundOverlays, which is a simple image which is shown above the map tiles as you define via geo bounds. See more here

I'm trying to display a self made indoor map (a simple jpeg file) in an app and the user should be able to place a marker on this map. The coordinates of the marker should be send to a server (firebase), so that other users can see the marker of other people. Also, the map should be zoomable.
I looked at android map view, but it seems that it's just for google maps and not for self made indoor maps. A simple image view seems also not to be the right way.
Could you guys give me a hint what I should use to display the self made map and how I could manage the markers ?
Thank you.
I think you are looking for Ground Overlays.

I need to develop an application for Android that uses the Google Maps API.
I the need to use a marker that show me my position and rotation exactly like the one shown in the figure (Link: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sy61Gjk7aKA/Tw2Lo553AiI/AAAAAAAAAVI/oJ7tiGb-lts/s1600/2.jpg).
Is it possible to realize?
I wrote an answer to a similar question: Google Map Heading Marker or Indicator
I haven't tried it in 3D, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work.
I would like to develop an android application using Google Maps API v.2 is it possible to remove the default markers placed by Google such as bus markers.
Sorry for the basic question but this is my first time developing an android application.
is it possible to remove the default markers placed by Google such as bus markers.
There are no default markers. Whatever "markers" you are seeing are part of the map tiles, and cannot be removed.
What is your aim ? You dont use them, you dont need them to remove!!! In maps you have to show a POI like as a marker. Otherwise it does not make a sense.
You can replace the icon with a transparent drawable... :)
I am working on making a interactive campus map. I am wanting to take an image (below) and overlay it onto Google maps and then add interactive points of interests. I am not seeing how to add or merge the image to the map. Can this be done? Are there any examples out there I missed?
If you want to replace the google map background.
From my experience, I could say no. It can't be done
But if you want to make it like transparent you can put Your map on top of google map and just set transparent.
However, somebody already been done this before. you might got some idea if you see this

Google Maps Developer Documentation
I built my application using Google Maps and it is using:
-BalloonItemizedOverlay
-BalloonOverlayView
-ItemizedOverlay
and what it does:
-Displays multiple points on map, each one clickable and balloon appears with relative text + description.
-Displays and updates the marker/point of user's position.
The only reason I want to switch to Open Street Map is because I would like to use the feature "caching map tiles" (presaving maps) which as far as I have looked it up is not allowed with Google Maps.
Can someone help me convert my application thoroughly to use OSMdroid instead of GoogleMaps? Providing me with some guides (very few support for OSMdroid at the moment...)
I have already looked up a lot of codes but they mostly differ in comparison with Google Maps and I can't seem to get it all right. I have managed to display user's location on the map but adding BalloonItemizedOverlays and so on is a hassle.
Anyway just help me out in any way you can - proposals on how to do it, sites with guides, anything :)
Thanks

I think these two tutorials should get you started with Balloons and Customized Balloons
Itemized overlay with osmdroid is quite easy to use, you should give it a try and you will get the feel of it once you try it our.
